[SAtalk] Assistance with SpamAssassin Configuration

[gs-list]

I sent out a message a few days ago, and haven't gotten any response yet. This is becoming a "hot" issue with some of my users, and it'd be great if somebody has some insight or can direct me to somewhere other than the general "RTFM" response. I've checked the IRC channel, (it was uninhabited for a period of 36 hours straight...) and I've exhaustively searched every link that Google comes up with on this subject. I can't find any links to email addresses on the spamassassin.org website, so I am imploring somebody on this list to lend a helping hand.

Here is a copy of my original email, again:

Greetings fellow SpamAssassins:

I have installed SpamAssassin 2.43 on my primary mailserver in a sitewide configuration, so it filters all inbound mail on my server. I am running Sendmail 8.12.6, and have spamass-milter creating the sock, and a line in my sendmail.cf pointing to that sock.

I am having some difficulty with the SpamAssassin per-user preferences configuration. I have attempted, in assorted methods, to get spamd to read a user preferences file. I first set the SPAMD_ARGS to include a -c which, according to the manpage for spamd, forces spamd to create the user preferences files. I cannot find the location where the spamd daemon is creating these, if at all. They're certainly not going into the /home/username/.spamassassin directories.

I've also added the --virtual-config=dir and -x arguments, and supplied a separate directory for files, titled username.prefs, where 'username' is replaced with the username desiring the custom preferences. Spamassassin is still not reading that preferences file, either.

Some users want the required score of 5, while other people want a much "looser" score for SPAM filtering. This is why I need to utilize the per-user configurations. It is entirely possible that I am doing something wrong, and that I don't understand how this is supposed to be configured.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, the documentation is not thorough enough to answer this question - I have RTFM'd several times with no luck, and this is why I am asking you fine people for your assistance!

Thank you in advance,
Gregg
